A Bronx man who lifted a cellphone is wanted by police after taking a photo of himself seemingly getting high&mdash;and uploading it to his victim&#39;s Facebook page.</p>
<p>
He didn&#39;t realize the woman <a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/bronx/bronx_thief_steals_woman_facebook_ldCtzDKU6CKreb75Xlkj3K?utm_source=SFnewyorkpost&amp;utm_medium=SFnewyorkpost">had her phone set up</a> to automatically post new photos to her Facebook account.&nbsp;</p>

&quot;Police say the perp robbed the 27-year-old victim&rsquo;s phone on March 2 near East Tremont Avenue and the Grand Concourse at around 3:00am before running off,&quot; the <em>Post </em>reported. &quot;Police said they are working to identify the perp who was last seen wearing a blue hat, blue sneakers and an orange jacket.&quot;</p>
<p>
Police claim the smoke is marijuana smoke. The<em> New York Post</em> claims it&#39;s marijuana smoke. But there&#39;s seemingly no evidence of that other than what you see above.</p>

In early January, a <a href="http://www.dailydot.com/news/phone-thieves-selfie-message-facebook/">New Zealand couple</a> stole a phone and took a photo of themselves, automatically sending the snapshot to the phone&#39;s owner. Police uploaded the selfie to Facebook, where it collected more than 7,200 likes. It is unclear whether the couple was ever apprehended.</p>
